Good Earth Give-Away

There's usually at least one night a week that I most certainly do not want to be bothered with time consuming kitchen prep for cooking a nice meal.

On those nights, I appreciate a convenience meal of some sort.

With appetizing entrées from Good Earth, dining in is sure to become the new dining out. Enjoy cooking a sophisticated, restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. Each variety includes vibrant and flavorful sauces along with specialty ingredients like sweet basil, white wine and dried tomatoes. Delicious dinners that allow you to keep a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing taste, Good Earth dry dinner kits are perfect for whipping up a no-fail, five-star cuisine in less than 30 minutes.

When Good Earth and My Blog Spark presented the opportunity to try the Mediterranean Chicken I was happy to give it a go. As I began to prepare the meal, I must admit, I felt like I might be disappointed. It seemed like the portions were too small and I'm always hesitant about premixed seasonings. I must also admit that I was pleasantly surprised that neither of my pre-conceived notions came to fruition.

The Mediterranean Chicken with Angel Hair Pasta was amazing. The seasoning was fresh and earthy ( a great thing from a company with the name Good Earth) and the portions were just right. Even my husband, who dislikes most sauces, was loving this! This was a delicious, quick and easy meal.

The only trouble I had with the kit was that there were 2 packets of "cream sauce". There was no indication as to whether there were supposed to be 2 and nothing in the instructions that clarified that either. I used both packets, but am still uncertain as to whether I simply got an extra packet or this was in fact supposed to be presented in this way. Good Earth may want to clarify this in their packing.
